Finally nabbed a new jam from Sydney's DIY heroes Holy Balm who are part of a still-strong ex-Chooch-a-bahn lineage of scuzzy innovators ie Fabulous Diamonds, Moonmilk and Naked On The Vague. We last heard from Anna John (one third of HB) on the Night People-released Knitted Abyss tape and this 15 minute wanderer suits them just fine when it gets frivolous tinny Contortions-style and breaks into a sudden UV Races cover near the end in that distinctly scribbly psychedelia.
